1. A Retreat for Older Women Asking “Who Am I Now?” Nicole Christina 44:10

I first became aware of today’s guest when she co wrote the classic, groundbreaking bestseller “The Courage to Heal” 37 years ago. It’s a book I’ve recommended many times in my psychotherapy practice. “The Courage to Heal” gave hope to millions because it provided sexual abuse survivors with the first real map of the healing process. In the years since then, Laura Davis has continued writing and leading workshops all over the world that have mirrored her passage through life: learning to be a parent, exploring the dynamics of reconciliation, living in the Cancer underworld, making peace with a difficult parent, and caring for a mother with dementia. She’s created a writing retreat for older women to explore their lives–and you don’t have to be a writer. The retreat is held in Santa Cruz and is sure to be spectacular.
